On our first date in August of 2022, we both felt an instant connection. After dinner, we decided to go to WalMart together as he needed to do some shopping. From then on, we've been pretty inseparable. We joke that we've moved at "Uhaul Lesbian" speed and that's perfectly acceptable with us. Once I moved in and officially became a part of the family, I think we both knew what we have is something special and beyond words. He knew he was stuck with me when I brought my cats over and left them there while I went to work. Our engagement was something beyond my wildest dreams. He surprised me by asking me in front of a group of our closest friends and I wouldn't have it any other way. It was intimate and beautiful.
